Summary: "A Century of Parody and Imitation" by Walter Jerrold and R. M. Leonard is a compilation of literary parodies and imitations crafted during the 19th century. This anthology aims to present a spectrum of works that both celebrate and critique contemporary literary styles, with a particular emphasis on significant contributions to the art of parody that emerged since the publication of "Rejected Addresses" in 1812. Notable for its historical relevance, the collection spans a wide range of authors, showcasing a playful yet insightful examination of the literary landscape of its time. The opening of the anthology presents a thorough prefatory note outlining the purpose and scope of the compilation. It details the exclusion of prose parodies while emphasizing the importance of well-crafted imitations in literature, attributing the term "parody" to its derivative roots. The editors express gratitude to various authors and institutions that contributed to the anthology, shedding light on the evolution of parody as a respected art form. From the compilation's inception, formal introductions to parodic works, including those inspired by famous poets of the era, are highlighted, paving the way for readers to explore the vibrant and often humorous world of literary mimicry.
